Jasmine Crockett's Chances of Flipping GOP Senate Seat in Texas — Polls

Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, stated that she is seriously considering a run for the U.S. Senate, as recent polls indicate she could be a leading contender in the Democratic primary.

“I am seriously weighing a Senate run,”

Newsweek has contacted Crockett’s campaign and congressional office for an official comment.

Election Landscape

Democrats face difficult odds in the upcoming Senate elections and may need to secure victories in traditionally conservative states such as Texas to reclaim a majority. Republicans currently hold a 53–47 advantage in the Senate.

The Democratic Party’s best opportunities may include GOP-held seats in Maine, where former Vice President Kamala Harris won by about seven points.
Another priority target is North Carolina, which backed President Donald Trump by roughly three points.

No other Republican-held Senate seats in states won by Harris or decided by single digits are up for reelection, leaving Democrats to focus on Texas as a competitive battleground.

Crockett’s Political Profile

Crockett, elected to the U.S. House in 2022, has gained national attention for her outspoken criticism of President Donald Trump and other Republican leaders.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris referred to Crockett as “authentic” when discussing future figures in Democratic leadership.
